Generally Doing Well--HOg Cholera
in Iowa and Illinois.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-The Farmers Re-
view has the following weekly crop sum.
mary:
The general tenor of the reports from the
winter-wheat states continues to be favor
able for the seeded grain. Fourteen Ohio
counties making returns this week all make
favorable reports. The fields are well pro-
tected with snow, and the plant looks very
healthy. Similar reports are made from thir-
teen Indiana counties, with one exception
Pike-which reports numter of fields show
ing severe injury from freezing. Eight
Michigan counties make q uniformly favor
able showing. Reports were received
this week from twenty seven Illinois
counties, embracing one-third of those
growing winter wheat. All but FIVE of these
report the winter wheat outlook as favorable.
Reports from Clay, Franklin, Hardin. Law
renee and Wayne counties show that the
wheat has been frozen and that the fields are
covered with frozen sleet. In fifteen Kansas
counties the prospect for the growing grain
is considered fair to good, while Harper, Lyon
and Pawnee counties report the grain as
looking badly Nine Wisconsin counties re-
port the wheat outlook as generally favora-
BILE. Hog cholera is prevailing with consider
able virulence in Illinois and Iowa ard pre-
walls with more or less viruleuce in Missouri.

March. 1864, Gen. Hazen was engaged in
marching, counter-marching and skirmishng
in East Tennessee. On the 18th of Augiist
he was transferred to the Army of the Ten
nessee and placed in command of the Second
division of the Fifteenth army corps. His
division took part in the Georgia campaign
and was engaged with the enemy at H ales-
boro oD the Oconee river, and again at the
Cannouche river. In December, after the ar
rival OF Gen. Sherman before Savannah, it
became necessary for him to open commuui-
cation in some way with the same in order to
obtain much-needed supplies. For the ac-
complishment of this purpose Gen. HaZen's
DIVISION was sent, OH the 18th Of that month,
to capture Fort McAllster, which commanded
the river inlet through which Gen. Sherman
hoped to get supplies. Nine regiments, under
Gen. HaZen's command, advanced to the
charge, stormed the lort in less than five
minutes. and captured twenty-four pieces of
ordnance and the entire garrison, thus open
ing way to the sea. Gen. HaZen
was appointed and confirmed major
general to date from the capture of Fort Nc
Allster. and on the 10Th of May, 1868, was
appointed by the president to command the
Fifteenth army corps, ON account OF long
continued service of the highest character
and for special gallautry. He was commits
stoned colonel of the Thirtieth regular in
fantry and afterwards of the Sixth, and dur
ing the RuSso-TurkiSh war in 1876 he was
United States military attache at Vienna. On
the 10Th of December, 1880, he was appointed
chlef signal officer, with the rank of brigadier
general, and that position he continued to
hold until his death

IN CONGRESS
The Appropriation Bills Expected
to Get Attention Thi Week.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The unfinished
business OF the senate is the bill providing
for the creation of agricultural experiment
stations. This measure and the bill pro-
hibiting members of congress from acting as
railroad attorneys are expected to consume
most of the time of the senate not devoted
to the appropriation bills and to secret ses-
sions during the coming week. The army
and pension appropriation bills are on the
calendar ready for the consideration Of the
senate, and the sundry civil bill IS expected
to be brought out of the committee in sea-
son for action before the end of the week.
The executive calendar of nominations re-
ported from committees is said to be long
one, but it is thought that few of
the cases will provoke discussion.
The conference report upon the electoral
count bill, which is likely to be brought up
for action Monday or Tuesday, will prob
ably not consume much time. The first
business before the house tomorrow will be
Mr. Townshends motion to pass the bill to
limit the jurisdiction of United States courts
in patent cases, ami protect innocent pur-
chasers of patents. which was under dis
cuSSiOn when the house adjourned OH the
last
COMMITTEE SUSPENSION DAY"
When this motion is disposed of, Chair
man Watson. in behalf of the invalid pen
sion committee, will move to suspend
the rules and pass the bill for the re-
lief of dependent parents and of honor
ably discharged soldiers and sailors who
are now disabled and dependent. If op-
portunity offers tomorrow, Mr.. Eldridge
will also request the house. under suspen-
sion of the rules, to pass the Mexican
pension bill. In the morning hour of Tues
day the committee on Pacific railroads in
tends to call up for action the resolution
providing for the investigation of the books
of the Pacific railroad companies. 1t is
probable that the house will also be asked
to act upon the conference report on the
interstate commerce bill on the same day.
When these matters are disposed of, there
will be Il struggle for the floor between the
river and harbor committee, with its apprO-
priation bills; the agricultural committee
seeking consideration for the pleuro-
pneumonia bill; the naval committee
which will press the bill for the reorganiza-
ton of the Daval bureau, and the Pacific
railroad committee. in charge of the fund
ing bill. The postotfice appropriation bill
will be reported to the house early in tie
week, and may be placed in antagonlsm
with the measures already referred to.

The Methods of Grain Buyers.

Special to the Globe.
GRAND MEADOW, Jan. 16.-There is
considerable feeling prevalent here in rela-
tion to the condition of the grain market.
At one of their meetings in December the
Farmers alliance passed a series of resou-
tionS complaining Of the methods of grain
buyers, especially in the matter of shrink
age of dirty grain, and the ''ten pounds
draft" A conference Of the grain buyers
and a committee of the alliance was held on
Tuesday last and the buyers presented their
view OF the case. For some reason the pro-
ceedingS of the meeting have been
kept quiet. 1t is understood that
the companies proposed to buy all grain on
the standard weights per bushel except
barley, which they will take at fifty pounds
